As I’ve said many times on the site, I loved the first “Transformers” movie and think director Michael Bay is the perfect person to helm the franchise.

Maybe you saw my interview with Michael on the red carpet of “Friday the 13th”. It's where I went full fanboy on him.

Anyway, during that interview he said the sequel was currently at 2 hours and 20 minutes but he was still editing.

Well MTV recently spoke to Bay about the run time and he told them:

“It’s four minutes longer than the last one,” explained Bay, saying that the runtime was locked. “So, go figure it out.”

What that means is…the film is 147 minutes of awesome, or 2 hours 27 minutes for those that can’t divide.

If you loved the first movie, this is great news. If you hate Michael Bay and this franchise, you probably aren’t reading this so....
